Meek Mill Attends Sixers’ Game After Release From Prison

Meek Mill attended the Sixers’ series-clinching 104-91 win against the Miami Heat hours after his release from prison earlier Tuesday, being escorted to the Wells Fargo Center via helicopter.

The Philadelphia-born rapper rang the ceremonial Liberty Bell before tipoff of Game 5 & received a thunderous ovation from the crowd upon introduction and was seated courtside, next to 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin and comedian Kevin Hart.

I’d like to thank God, my family, and all my public advocates for their love, support and encouragement during this difficult time. While the past five months have been a nightmare, the prayers, visits, calls, letters and rallies have helped me stay positive.

To the Philly District Attorney’s office, I’m grateful for your commitment to justice. I understand that many people of color across the country don’t have that luxury and I plan to use my platform to shine a light on those issues.
